Namche Bazaar (3440m)

We reach the gates of Namche at about 11 and I feel weak at the knees. This is it. Namche Bazaar. Sherpatown, mountaineering capital of the world, place of legend. Every year, 20,000 trekkers make this pilgrimage, retracing the steps of the world’s last great explorers. This is hallowed ground, legend lies beyond its gates.
